- Dental Examination
- Teeth Cleaning
- FillingsWe offer composite fillings instead of traditional metal amalgam fillings. This additional dental service is safer for your body and provides a natural look in the smile, blending in seamlessly with the color of your teeth.
- VeneersThe process for porcelain veneers is quick and simple when compared to many other cosmetic dentistry procedures. Dr. LaKendra Sakeena always begins with a smile consultation to discuss your goals and concerns, then we will capture detailed images of your teeth with our handheld intraoral camera. These detailed images allow us to design your porcelain veneers to your specifications and ensure they fit comfortably on your teeth. During your next appointment, Dr. Sakeena will gently remove a thin layer of enamel from the front of your teeth to fit the porcelain veneers. The veneers will then be bonded to your teeth for a secure and long-term fit. You will be able to eat, brush, floss and speak like normal without having to worry about your teeth or the security of your porcelain veneers.
- CrownsIf you have an uneven gumline or a “gummy smile,” we can carefully remove excess tissue, exposing more of the tooth crown and balancing the smile. This also helps our dentist access bacteria that resides below the excessive gum tissue.
- BridgesFor those with damaged or missing teeth, we offer natural-looking dental crowns and bridges to restore your mouth. Our office features CEREC same-day dentistry, which allows us to create crowns in-office during your appointment.
- Root Canal TreatmentA common reason for tooth pain is infection of the interior pulp and nerves of a tooth. Tooth infection typically occurs when disease and bacteria have been left untreated and penetrate through the tooth enamel to the interior tooth structure. If this infection is left untreated, then you may be at risk of loosing the affected tooth, painful abscesses forming or a spread of the infection to other parts of your body or surrounding teeth. To cleanse an infected tooth, Dr. LaKendra Sakeena offers effective root canal therapy. Root canals effectively remove infection and restore structure to your tooth, as well as relieve you of tooth pain.
- Deep CleaningPreventative dentistry is an additional dental service that helps us keep your mouth clean and healthy. We will examine your mouth and provide a deep cleaning and assessment of any potential risks.
- DenturesLiving without any teeth is more common than many people think, with nearly 35 million American’s missing all their teeth. Over 90 percent of these people choose traditional removable dentures as their choice of tooth replacement. Dentures provide patients with the natural look of a complete smile, while restoring some ability to bite and chew a wider variety of foods. As your general dentist, Dr. LaKendra Sakeena can help create beautiful and functional dentures to improve your overall quality of life after tooth loss.
- Dental ImplantsDr. LaKendra Sakeena was born in Houston, Texas and raised in the Sugarland area. She received her B. S. in Biology from Texas Southern University and later graduated from the University of Texas Dental School in Houston where she earned her Doctorate of Dental Surgery Degree. Since graduating, Dr. Sakeena has continued her love of learning the best ways in which to deliver the most beautiful, healthy smiles to her patients. She has completed extensive training in Smile Makeovers, Implant, CAD/CAM, and Sedation dentistry and continues to stay abreast of the latest technology and best possible treatment options for her patients.
- Oral Surgery
- Tooth ExtractionsMany people develop wisdom teeth during their late teenage years. Wisdom teeth often cause patients discomfort and can damage surrounding teeth or cause infection. We perform wisdom teeth extractions for these extra teeth to save your health and relieve you of pain.
- Bone GraftingOne of the biggest restrictions to patients qualifying for dental implants is the lack of bone volume in their jaw. Having adequate bone volume is necessary to securely hold a dental implant post within the jaw, and without the bone support, dental implants will likely fail. Dr. LaKendra Sakeena offers our patients a solution to inadequate bone volume with bone grafting treatments. Bone grafting allows us to restore volume to a jaw to allow you to support dental implants without failure.
- OrthodonticsPatients who have misaligned teeth often choose orthodontics to correct their bite and improve their oral health and aesthetic appearance of their smile. Invisalign® allows teeth to be aligned without the need for metal brackets or wires and restrictions to your diet, as it utilizes revolutionary clear aligners. These aligners are practically invisible and can be removed when eating and cleaning for an improved quality of life and oral hygiene.
- Invisalign OrthodonticsWhen you want an attractive new smile, you should always choose a dentist who focuses on quality and results. Dr. Sakeena has received advanced training in Invisalign cases allowing her to offer patients improved results and often with faster treatment times. We dedicate our time to you in order to help you achieve your dream smile. We want you to be happy with your results and will work with you until your smile looks just how you imagine it. Invisalign is often a first step for many patients in achieving their smile goals.
- BracesWhen choosing Invisalign in Missouri City, TX, Dr. Sakeena will use an intraoral camera to capture detailed images of your teeth and bite. This will allow customized clear aligners to be created that fit over your teeth comfortably. These clear braces are worn 20-22 hours a day and can be removed for easy cleaning and eating. After one to two weeks, the aligners are changed out for a new pair that are slightly adjusted to continue tooth alignment. For many patients, this tooth alignment can be up to twice as fast as with traditional braces.
- Teeth WhiteningKöR teeth whitening utilizes powerful in-office whitening with convenient take-home trays to reach maximum whitening results. The first step to KöR teeth whitening involves an in-office treatment where our refrigerated bleaching gel is applied to your teeth. KöR teeth whitening does not use a dental light, which often dries out the teeth and makes them sensitive, and only relies on the bleaching gel. After several short bleaching sessions, your teeth will be visibly whiter. You will then be sent home with customized take-home trays to continue the process at home. These trays are custom created to your mouth and teeth, providing a precise, comfortable fit. At home, you will apply a whitening gel to these trays and wear them for several sessions. The end result of teeth whitening in Missouri City, TX, is a brilliant white smile you can feel proud to show off.
- Cosmetic DentistryIf you suffer from tooth loss, damage or crooked teeth you may qualify for a full mouth reconstruction. This treatment plan combines both functional dental procedures with cosmetic dentistry to restore your mouth to proper health. Full mouth reconstruction combines multiple dental procedures into one comprehensive treatment plan that can often take weeks to months and even years to fully complete. After your full mouth reconstruction treatment, you will be able to use your mouth normally and enjoy the self-confidence a beautiful smile can bring.
